  Hi @footyunion,

  WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted. Please refer to the following documentation regarding this policy:

  There are a number of steps you can take to “close” your account and ensure that it, and any sites associated with your account, remain inaccessible and inactive to both you and the public (some of which it seems you have already done):

  Empty Site
